We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

I'm seeking a refund on this one because it required agreeing to ludicrously overreaching data exposure in a privacy agreement before I could play.

It's highly likely the devs have nothing to do with Russian MIC/government nor does buying the game likely support the invasion of Ukraine, slightly less likely but still probable that they no longer live in Russia to avoid the draft, and if not funding game devs from a country that commits atrocities is a priority then I hope you don't play anything with Ten Cent or Saudi Arabian investment fund stock ownership.

Buying or not buying video games is only rarely a point of activism.

There's a better reason not to play Voidtrain: It's really grindy and it takes forever to make progress. They also haven't patched it since June (it had a one-year exclusivity deal with Epic), which is worrisome for a game in Early Access.

It was a dumb question, gaming forums have a weird obsession with tying developers’ home countries into having some sort of innate hatred, or having support for war crimes. Anyone (and their family) can be jailed for being vocal against the war effort there.

Unless they’re being super vocal FOR the war and cheering for violence I don’t see the point of just boycotting random developers. I’m fine with having personal lines in the sand, I’ve just never understood this one because it’s not really rooted in logic.

Taxation from the sale would support the war effort. It's not a lot, probably not enough to make a real difference on the ground, but it sure feels bad. Nothing against any specific Devs, but I'll just wait this one out.

Taxation of American products funds the largest military on the planet and we’ve done some lovely things! (And will continue to do them)

I don’t see the point in punishing people for participating in society and trying to make a living when they themselves likely oppose the war.

But it’s your line to draw, I’m not gonna be aggro like Stux. I just think it’s a little silly. When I buy games I’m only concerned about what the dev/publisher have been responsible for doing or saying.

Pinball FX showed up on Steam a couple of weeks ago after being locked down over at Epic for a while:

https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256939662/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1680712917

On the subject of not freaking out, the game has Mixed reviews but this is largely due to people being really angry at a new version being released that has an improved physics engine (important with pinball) and really great HDR support (turn it on and try to deny that it isn't really cool).

The game itself is really fun and I can finally play really good versions of Addams Family, Bride of Pinbot (where is Pinbot though?), and Twilight Zone.

If you're a PinballFX2 owner and mad about being asked to pay for minor upgrades (understandable too), you can still download this and only buy the new tables and participate in the online tournaments.

Recommended even though it might cause a shitstorm but I'm willing to weather a shitstorm over video pinball over whatever the gently caress is happening in this thread right now.

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
loving hell if you can't stand being teased about avoiding Russian games, when the game is actually made by a Russian dev who seems to have moved to Cyprus and probably isn't directly bankrolling Putin, then I don't know what to tell you. Make your purchasing decisions, that's fine.

I urge the use of the ignore button if a particular poster annoys you. If you think we're handling something badly, hit the feedback thread.

maybe if anyone wants to talk politics of any kind they can do it outside of the 'thread for new video games that are coming out' as there are many places to do that.

I don't think your 'you should be teased for not wanting to buy Russian games since the dev lives in cyprus' is a very good position as you're just stating your own political opinion in a thread that shouldn't have anything to do with politics. Just probate anyone who talks politics in a thread that has nothing to do with that, then probate yourself I guess for the same reason
